moments of impact left in the sand
like a heart shared with others
leaving pieces of a life with a new friend
forever inscribed on the malleable
shifting sands, times, and minds
sweep away the scars of history
providing a smooth slate
for new messages to dig deep enough to stick
what messages will sink to the very soul?
words of defeat, agony, and hopelessness
or words of victory, joy, and hope
both have potential to shape and mold
each imprint a microcosm of a path
leading toward death or life
follow the legacy left before or stand still?
pray for courage and go!
choose life every time
leave behind the fragrance of joy
engrave peace and love in the very air
graffiti the world with grace
let each footstep scream “Jesus!”
so others can follow the prints to the cross
where the lightning moment of salvation
changed a mound of sand into a glass beauty
how do you mark the world?
